Mine was when I was at a former classmates birthday party and then I noticed my phone didnt detect my SIM card, I had to be the center of attraction on the party removing my phones back and taking out the battery, then the SIM card, then putting them back in. When it rebooted, Im glad it re-detected my SIM card. That was totally embarrassing.

Mine was at the time when I was beta testing a new rom...
I had to meet up my school friends...
The rom was working well...till one of my friends switched on wifi bt gps, all one after the other *JUST FOR THE FUN OF IT*
And bam! Force closes everywhere...graphic glitches, weird vibration patterns!
My friend thought he had screwed my phone...
And I had to flash a new rom in front of everyone, when all of us were supposed to enjoy...
And I lost a few apps+contacts+msgs since my backup wasn't updated...
Typed using a small touchscreen
When i first started using cynogen mod 7 and didn't read the buglist. I was supose to meet a girl somewhere and needed gps but that was a cm7 bug.. It would work and get a location when it wanted to after a few reboots sometimes it worked.. I never made it to see her but i had to flash a nightly rom to get gps to work.. So i was sad twice that night lol.

I flashed the GPS fix for the HD2 right before I went to school and give the phone to my girlfriend. Apparently, that fix caused reboots every minute. She hated the phone because it rebooted in class constantly. I wiped the ROM and reflashed and it fixed it. Lucky me lol

Another was when my phone suddenly started lagging in front of my friends.

I am so glad, that most of my friends dont know or are afraid of flashing. As a result, they dont know there are such options as overclocking and other things that can screw your phone.
my was when I was in school and was trying the dual boot kernel in my new s2 and it didn't boot up.......although I bought it 2 hours ago....LOL

Mine was just a couple of days ago. Wanted to show someone at work how awesome the rom was on my phone, and at that very moment it wanted to glitch, so it made me look like an idiot.
And, anytime I talk roms and rooting to my friends they look at me like I'm an idiot.
Mine still happens I just finished year 11 in the UK basically high school and my friends of course still want to keep in touch and since I'm always flashing ROMs, they are always like why don't you text or call back and I'm like I have checked my call history and my text messages it is all clear here, they think I am ignoring them.

Try flashing a custom ROM. Ive never had any lag problems.

what LAG are you speaking of.....scrolling?, Loading?, be more specific so others can say if they had/have that problem.
personally i have not seen ANY lag on this phone until i installed Go Launcher<<<
which will will cause some lag.
What I mean is a freezing when I go to my text masseges. It will lock for a second. I only have 3 apps. Nothing in the background running

may just be a glitch sort of thing......unless your last one was having the EXACT same lag with the messeging. i would say load up a ROM or even reflash the stock rom that you have and it may go away.

Does it lag during calls and hang up?
That's so weird... as soon as I press messages, it snaps into action and is open before I can even react.
There's something obviously wrong with that one. Try rooting it and running a custom ROM, if that doesn't help, then exchange it.
No lag here.. rooted and stock rom and overclocked... Insane speed..
Well it doesn't do it all the time now. But my.original one did it too. It's way less than a second. It must of been all in my head because everything else works very fast so I think I'll wait till I see my update to the 2.3.6 & go from there.

LOL so i went & said I've had it with the black one & got the white one & couldnt be happier , thank you all for all the help
i think there isn't lag but it's slower coming from an i9100.
scrolling isn't as smooth, and the messaging app is a little funky at times too.
but idk the difference is negligible they're both awesome phones
Flash Sky Ice Cream Sandwich Rom is Amazing!
My first issue with my G2x is that when I put my phone in my pocket somtimes and I ull it out to chck for any new text or anything. It has poweed off on its own and I have to power it back on. This usually happens like 3 or 4 times a day.
Second issue is that anytime I make or receive a phone call my phone automatically has the speakerphone on. This happen been happening since day one, rather it is rooted or not.
Third is not actually with the G2x, its more to do with Tmobile.. I have had three replacement phones since I bought my G2x and I asked Tmo CC if I could get a different phone since I have had so many problems with the G2x and have had three replacements within the last two months. And they told me the only other phone I could get was the Sidekick 4G... WTF!!!!!!!! If I wanted to downgrade I would just use my G2 or G1.
Has anyone else had either of these issues, if so how can I fix it? Cuz I refuse to get the Sidekick 4G and dont want to keep having to get relacement.
With TMO it seems like you must get a little lucky. It all depends on the representative you get. I have had better success with being nice and speaking with the next in command. TMO has far surpassed my expectations many times.
What os are you running? Stock? Is it rooted? Have you tried cm7?
I was lucky and got a phone with little to no issues. I do know some folks that had the black screen of death ran cm7 and it went away.

My current G2x is rooted running Weapons 3.0 with the ICS Theme and Droid Bionic Boot Animation. But the others were stock with the Clockmod Recovery flashed to them.
I still get the problems in stock too.I ran MIUI for a while, it didn't have those problems. I installed weapon to get wifi calling. I think CM7 based roms don't suffer from the issues.

I use to have the MyTouch 4g and I had to have it replace 3 times with in a 2 month period. T-Mobile allowed me to replace it with the G2X. So I would contact T-Mobile again and talk to a supervisor. It's better to talk with them and they can help you get a better phone. All they have to do is see how many times you replace the phone. They can look it up and then help you get a new better phone. If they don't threaten to go somewhere else, i'll bet they will help then.

For the random powering off, have you tried different roms. I'm currently using the Bionix Reloaded rom with the dragon kernel specifically for this rom. I haven't had any real issues. My phone has rebooted twice first week but it was a data issue. Mr. Apocalypse is currently working on the issue and will have a new release out soon. I haven't had any more issues after the first week. Ive had the rom for about 3 weeks.
Also, I did noticed when I used SetCpu and overclocked my phone it heated up really quickly so I had to set it back to it regular clock speeds.
Select "stay awake" in your settings/applications/development. That should help with your screen not turning on when it sleeps also know as (SOD) screen of death. Download the free app "Stay Awake" from the market and you will never have a random reboot again. Its bad on battery life but its much better then missing calls,texts,or alarm clocks.

And its not the ROM your using its the hardware LG built the phone with. I have a LG smart TV that reboots after prolonged use too. I've tried every 3rd party ROM out there and still had random reboots. The best fix I found is my prior post and I run weapon 3.0 with faux kernel.

go for latest eagles blood (his own version not the kang) with latest Trinity elp kernel. Not had one reset, shut down, or hardly any problem at all. I only use roms where I have zero issues, not sure why anyone would do any different.
Honestly with your problems though (as long as your wiping everything when you flash) seem like an actual problem with the phone for sure.

So it happened to me, removed wifi calling apk (requires reboot to stop constant force close) and rebooted only to realize that my internal storage was completely wiped. Not upset about it lost some music and a couple of images I can live without, backed up most of the important ones a while ago.
Just curious if it has happened to anyone else with the g2x?
It happened to me once on cm7. I uninstalled swift key and everything froze for about 2 minutes. Then the screen went black.
Battery pulled reboot and it went to lg screen then black. Battery pulled again reboot into recovery nothing would mount or work in recovery. Reboot again and it would only go to recovery.
It wiped my entire internal and fried my 16gb external. I had to nvflash back to stock to get it to work again. External SD card is still useless.

guess I got lucky then, my external is still good. Now I'm backing that one up just in case, I got stuck in the weird recovery issue though as well. either way all is alright I ended up flashing your mod to weapon while I was stuck in recovery lol. Very nice, just in case you come back and see this thread, any chance we can get ICS transitions lol.

Lol, it would serve you right. I mean, is it LG that's to blame? It is Nvidia? Is it Google, they're the ones who wrote Android, or is it T-Mobile for commissioning the software for the phone to be written as crap? Hardware-wise this phone is pretty good, and the fact that it's nearly impossible to truly brick this think is awesome. And is it even Nvidia or LG that ultimately writes the OS? There is a thread bouncing around about that.

If the screen starts acting strange usually it's a Hardware issue. Best bet is to RUU back to stock to eliminate the possibility of it being the Rom. If the issue continues at that point, take it in and have them look at it. Always remember it's best to take your phone in Stock Unrooted . That way they cannot say it was something you did.
i've had 3 Shifts so far and i guess i'm lucky to have never had this happen to me! the only thing mine has ever done as far as the touchscreen goes is sometimes i'll get an error message saying "touch input has stopped functioning" or something like that. i have to restart and it's fine. i'd imagine these issues are covered by insurance.
So, I love this phone but have one issue that seems odd to me. As an example I am currently running pandora and tried opening the xda app which caused what appeared to be a fc but my phone kept running pandora and went to a black screen for a minute then a faded screen which eventually lead to a drop in data (briefly). Every thing was briefly unresponsive... It acted exactly like a reboot without rebooting. When I was able to unlock the screen I had no data service (briefly) and all apps closed. Xda app often fc's which is not a big deal to me but causing the black screen and data drop is concerning to me. I also had this happen when opening the phone info app while running nothing else. Should I be concerned about this? Software or hardware? I am running stock.
Edit: Have also had to reboot due to dropped data but it may have been during a switch between 4G or 3g even 1x.

The policy is there is no $35 reatocking fee for the same phone swap. Don't let them tell you different. Your phone is DOA. Its a warranty exchange.

Your issues are not isolated.
I gave up with tech support and wishing a new phone would fix it and turned to third party development. My first time flashing a ROM. I used synergy and have been really thrilled with it.
Sucks to have to fix a brand new phone. Sucks to be a beta tester for Samsung and vzw.

I did not try wiping the phone because the first one was only nine days old and I had not done much with it. The second one lasted a day and now I am on my third. I really hope this does not happen again. The people at the Verizon store said they have never heard of this..... They think it's an app... I only have 12 apps installed. I don't know what I'm going to do if this happens with this phone. This is frustrating. I do not want to get stuck with a phone that has a problem like this.

Mine does the same thing. Besides the stock stuff, I loaded Pandora, Google Music, Amazon MP3, and Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: Master of the Seas game. It was nice enough to wait until just after the 14 day return window to start locking up and misbehaving. The only way I could get it back was to do a battery pull. Of course, when I brought it to the store it ran like a champ! If you can get another replacement, make sure it says 'UPDATED' on the box. Those have a newer kernel / baseband and seem to be working better.
All of mine have said updated on the box. I am trying to limit apps for now and will slowly add them if I have no issues.
